Jordan's new bike

Uncle Lucas got Jordan a new bike earlier this year. Jordan loves it, but was a little scared of it at first. Here he is riding it at Auntie and Lucas's house. He rides it everywhere at home now!

Abigayle

Here are some pictures of my beautiful new niece, Abigayle, born February 24, 2009 :)

kid update

Trevor is growing and changing like crazy. It's hard to believe, but he will be 1 this month!!! Since I my last set of updates (the ice storm), he has started crawling, given up bottles and moved to sippy cups, started "cruising" and is very, very close to walking and is eating table foods. And boy, does he love food. He eats entire kids meals by himself. And the people at the daycare tell me that he eats all of his meal, plus all the other kids leftovers because no one else eats their whole plate of food! Here are some recent pictures of him.

Auntie's Shower

Obviously, a lot has happened since I last posted. For one, auntie had a baby. Here are some pictures from her shower in Corbin. She is going to kill me, but what are big sisters for?

Ice Storm

In case you don't live near us, here's what it looks like outside our house right now. Luckily, we still have power. Many people here in Lexington, and even more in Louisville and the western part of the state don't. I have friends in Louisville who have moved their families to hotels. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose your power this time of the year . . especially if you were one of the thousands of people who don't have anywhere to go and can't afford a hotel.

This is in our front yard.

This is also in the front yard and near the neighbor's house. I was so scared some of the limbs were going to fall in our bedroom window or onto the neighbor's house.

Clearly, there was no playing on this in our backyard today.

This is also in our backyard.

Laughing Baby

As you can see, Trevor drools A LOT, but he also likes to laugh, and I LOVE laughing babies:

Christmas Morning

It took a while for Jordan to find the big present from Santa. You might remember that he had the same problem last year, and like this year, also noticed the coloring book first. That's hysterical, because he's really not all that interested in coloring books.
